Can we get an indicator if we're going up against a SWF group?
Like it's annoying dealing with this so much at high ranks and constantly getting bullied, and treated with so much toxicity especially if you're playing a weaker killer.

I doubt this would ever be implemented simply because the rate of lobby dodge would increase,.

Will be nice but fix of this will be aditional BP for killer who play against swf like 2 surv extra20% BP 3surv 30% etc.But i think right now this is imposible to make waiting for dedicated serwers.0

They won't give us an indicator. Since they just changed the matchmaking so survivors enter the lobby at the same time. Independently if they are solo or swf.0

No, not before the game starts.
If you can't play against a SWF simply because it's an SWF you are at a rank you do not deserve to be at. This is VERY typical with SWF dodgers. They will dodge every SWF, get to a high rank, then complain over how many SWFs they meet there and\or how hard\toxic it is. At higher rank, people are more likely to SWF, simply because SWF is easier and you rank up more by playing SWF.
There are also many high ranked survivors that are playing at high rank solely because of SWF giving them that boost.
I am completely fine with giving the killer a decent BP bonus for playing against SWF, as long as this information is withheld until the end of the game. What they do in Overwatch by pairing up the people in the same group would be a nice addition to the end game screen.

Nobody wants to willingly go against SWF and rightly so. Giving an indicator would be nice to be able to brace yourself for the hell you're about to endure but I doubt the devs will ever implement something like that. SWF Is a big portion of the player base and they'd end up being constantly dodged.

I would like it to be indicated at the end game screen so I understand what just happened. Before the match would just be encouraging dodging which is bad for the game.

I don't see an indicator coming. Especially with the new match making further hiding SWF.
The popularity of SWF isn't going to help, either. I think some 70% of survivors are in SWF.
Devs are scared of the backlash.
People are afraid that if SWF gets pointed out, either via filter, labels, etc. That they will all get dodged. And these people are usually in denial over why.
Usually an SWF has zero business being matched to the killer they're against.
A lot of SWF shoot for brown ranks to find people to trample, and/or troll.
SWFs usually play above their rank, and there's been no end to mixed rank SWFs where they were a color or two above me on top of that.
We should get BP bonuses at the least for the hassle of dealing with SWFs.

Maybe you don't belong at the rank you're at there's nothing wrong with that and it's too easy to rank up on both sides, I don't have a problem getting 3-4k a game but I've also been playing for 2 years and the game was in a wayy worse place then than it is now so all these changes helped me because I was almost playing handicapped compared to whats here now , my advice would be to hang in there and learn from mistakes by rewatching clips and seeing where you got mind gamed / or mind gamed yourself and try to improve your gameplay, also when things start going downhill I turn to the 3 gen strategy and turn the game back in my favor when all the gens left end up being together .
Swf boosts survivors to ranks they don't belong to...
So SWF should be easy to beat then, right? All these boosted ranks playing against killers who have enough time to reach rank 1 by themselves...

If they're SWF the don't probably don't really care they're just friends having fun. The thing that always comes from the forums is how tough SWF is at rank one. You wouldn't know that though as you derank for easier games anyway.

Not all SWF are 4 mans as survivors never become tired explaining. Also you dont always play within the same SWF.
Boosted SWF are not tough to beat, its when survivors that are strong by themselves team up with other strong survivors.0 -

and I'd argue you'd have to have at least some capability to be able to get boosted all the way to rank one, you'd have still had to have won chases and know mechanics, you can't just do nothing and get to rank one because of your team mates.

Since I am a solo survivor player myself, I can tell you that you get screwed over a lot by boosted survivors. I am more scared of my mates than of the killer usually

I didn't run out of anything - I put forward that you've probably screwed over people too, it happens every game - we all make bad decisions when we're being chased or think the killer is moving away and go in for a save only for him to have started heading back already.

Stop pretending you face a SWF a ton I'm a rank 1 killer and I face good survivors, but not all of my games are SWF (1/5 of them are SWF and 1/15 are the toxic 'depip squad') I really agree they need nerfs and yes an indicator would be great but you pretending you face them all the time is just you making excuses for the fact a team wins.
Please don't make posts with blatant lies.

They said something interesting just yesterday on the live stream. Something about currently the game doesnt flag if you are playing solo or in a group. Its at 55 minutes-ish.
I personally dont see a problem with showing if people are SWFs as long as there are harsher leaving lobby penalties. We got to remember a large majority of games played is some form of SWF.
You can do 30 seconds, then 90 seconds, then 3 minutes, then 5 minutes. How it regresses, i have no idea, whether its based on lobbies played or time played. Either way, i doubt the majority of killers will want to wait 3-5 minutes to make a lobby, then wait for the lobby to fill up. Then possibly leave again and have another high probability of getting another form of SWF group.
I think people are just calling out DOOOOM if this gets added. As long as it gets balanced with stricter leaving lobby penalties there shouldnt be a problem.
Edit - And the times were just an example throwing it out there.

I've been asking for 3 game modes for ages:
Casual
Ranked
Hardcore
Maybe once we have dedicated servers.1 -

I want to willingly go against SWF groups to be fair. They're some of my favourite matches. Seeing to what extent survivors will go to help each other and which one will turn tail and focus on themselves. Getting genrushed doesn't bother me either, it's impressive if they pull it off
Same a lot of killers don't have an issue facing swf groups because we don't dodge them in the 1st place so we know how to handle them for the most part. Oh sure we'll get the depip swat teams every once in awhile but those are few and far between and we'lls till 4k them occasionally.

I'd hate the segregation of SWF/Solo because for the killers that don't mind SWF it means they'll just face the same teams over and over again and it'll be boring - lobbies need to stay as they are.

There is no need. I pay atention to their names: If you are against 3 survivors named Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup chances are they are togheter (True example). If playing on PC, check their Steam profiles and look if the other players are on their friend list or posted something on their profile. I mean, what else would you do as you wait for the match to start?
Then you can deside if you want to go against them and prepare you strategy for it. Most of the time I get to down and hook their weakest member and just patrol not far from it until their friends come rushing to try to save him/her. Remember that toxic people are toxic to their friends too. They are probably ranting at their friends demanding them to come to the rescue instead of doing gens. It is so funny to see 3 survivors running around the hook until their friend gets sacrificed
On the other hand, if they are against a competent group..... do your best, good luck

Another example: survivors named "Crazy gamer girl" and "I love you Crazy gamer girl". I knew I had to hooked that CGG and I did, at the basement no less. Imagine the preasure ILYCGG must have felt in real life. It wasn't long before he came to the rescue and the two love birds ended up "hanging toghether"1
